Chana Sattu | 400 gm

Advait Living’s 100% Freshly Milled Chana Sattu

Our 100% natural chana sattu powder is made from roasted desi chana that is traditionally sand-roasted in an iron kadhai and freshly milled into a fine flour. The formulation remains simple, only roasted chana with no added sugar, preservatives, or additives.

Because the roasting happens before milling, the flour develops a fuller flavour and lighter mixing behaviour compared to raw-ground pulse flours. It can be used in both traditional and modern preparations, including sattu drinks, porridges, doughs, cheelas, and high-protein meal combinations.

Texture & Taste Profile

The flour has a fine, dry texture that mixes easily into water, curd, milk, or doughs without feeling overly gritty when prepared properly.

The taste profile is earthy, nutty and mildly smoky from iron kadhai roasting.

It is not artificially flavoured or sweetened, which makes it flexible across savoury and sweet recipes.

Nutritional Profile of Chana Sattu

Our chana sattu is made from roasted whole desi chana, which naturally retains its protein, fibre, and mineral content after roasting and milling. Unlike flavoured commercial mixes, the nutritional profile comes entirely from the roasted pulse itself, without added sugar, fillers, or fortification.

Health Benefits of Chana Sattu 

1) Naturally High in Plant Protein

Chana sattu is naturally rich in protein because it is made from whole roasted desi chana. This makes it useful for:

• supporting daily protein intake
• improving meal satiety
• building more balanced breakfasts or snacks

The protein comes directly from the pulse itself without isolates or additives.

2) Helps Keep You Full for Longer

The combination of protein and dietary fibre makes sattu more filling than refined flour-based foods or sugary drinks. It digests more slowly, which helps reduce frequent hunger spikes and unnecessary snacking.

3) Supports Steady Energy Levels

Since it is based on roasted whole chana rather than refined starch, the energy release feels more stable and sustained. This is one reason chana sattu has traditionally been consumed during physically demanding work or hot weather.

4) Traditionally Used as a Cooling Food

In many Indian food traditions, chana sattu is consumed during summer because it is considered lighter and more cooling when prepared as a drink. It is commonly mixed with water, lemon, or curd during hot weather.

5) Source of Dietary Fibre

The fibre content supports overall digestive comfort and helps improve the structure of meals by making them more balanced and filling.

6) Naturally Contains Iron

Roasted desi chana naturally contains iron, contributing to the overall nutritional value of the flour without synthetic fortification.

7) No Added Sugar or Preservatives

This original chana sattu contains only roasted desi chana. There are:

• no added sugars
• no flavouring agents
• no preservatives
• no instant-mix additives

This keeps the nutritional profile cleaner and closer to the original ingredient.

8) Versatile for Daily Nutrition

Chana sattu can be consumed in multiple forms:

• savoury drinks
• sweet drinks
• porridges
• doughs
• cheelas
• meal combinations

This flexibility makes it easier to include consistently in everyday meals.

9) Gluten-Free by Nature

Since it is made only from roasted chana, the formulation remains naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for people avoiding wheat-based flours.

10) Less Processed Than Commercial Nutrition Mixes

The process involves roasting and milling rather than heavy industrial processing. This keeps the ingredient structure simpler and avoids unnecessary additives or synthetic fortification systems.

Who This Is Best Suited For

This chana sattu is suitable for:

• people looking for a high-protein traditional food ingredient
• those wanting filling meals without processed additives
• hot-weather consumption due to its traditional cooling use
• individuals avoiding refined snack mixes or sugary drink powders
• people looking for gluten-free flour alternatives
• those wanting versatile pantry ingredients for both drinks and meals

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Because the flour is freshly milled and preservative-free, exposure to air and humidity can affect aroma and texture over time. Always use a dry spoon while handling.

Best before 1 month from packaging date.

How Is Advait Living’s Chana Sattu Prepared?

Our chana sattu is made using whole desi chana that is traditionally roasted and freshly milled without additives, preservatives, or flavouring agents. The process focuses on preserving the original structure, flavour, and nutritional profile of the roasted pulse.

1) Sourcing of Desi Chana

The desi chana is sourced from neighbouring farms using natural and low-intervention cultivation practices.

2) Cleaning & Sorting

The chana is cleaned and sorted to remove dust, stones, and damaged grains before roasting begins.

3) Traditional Sand Roasting

The whole chana is roasted using hot sand in an iron kadhai, a traditional method used to create even heat distribution without direct burning.

This stage develops the earthy, mildly smoky flavour, improves aroma, reduces rawness, and helps make the flour easier to digest.

4) Cooling & Separation

After roasting, the chana is cooled and separated from the sand before milling.

5) Fresh Milling

The roasted chana is freshly milled into a fine flour. Because the milling happens after roasting, the final texture remains lighter and mixes more smoothly into drinks and recipes.

6) No Additives or Instant-Mix Agents

The formulation contains no added sugar, preservatives, flavouring agents, stabilisers, and thickeners. 

Only roasted desi chana.

7) Small Batch Packing

The sattu is packed in small batches to help maintain freshness, aroma, and texture stability during storage.

Multiple Ways to Use Chana Sattu

1) Traditional Sattu Drink (Savoury Version)

Add:

• 2–3 tablespoons chana sattu
• chilled or room-temperature water
• black salt
• roasted jeera powder

Mix thoroughly until smooth.

This is the most traditional way to consume sattu, especially during hot weather. It creates a filling, cooling drink that is light enough for regular use.

2) Sweet Sattu Drink

Mix:

• milk or water
• jaggery or honey

Stir until fully mixed. It creates a thicker, more filling drink suitable for breakfast or evening consumption.

3) High-Protein Breakfast Bowl

4) Sattu Dough for Rotis or Parathas

Mix sattu with:

• chopped onions

• coriander
• spices
• a little mustard oil or ghee

Use as stuffing or knead into dough. 

This is commonly used in traditional preparations like stuffed parathas.

5) Cheela or Savoury Pancake

Mix with:

• water
• onions
• herbs
• spices

Cook on a tawa like a savoury pancake. It works as a higher-protein alternative to refined flour-based snacks.

6) Sattu Porridge

• water or milk
• jaggery (optional)
• dry fruits

Creates a simple, filling meal with a thicker consistency.

7) Travel or Quick Meal Use

Because it mixes easily and requires minimal preparation, sattu is traditionally used as a travel-friendly food.

Simply mix with water and basic seasoning for a quick meal.

8) Post-Activity Meal Addition

Can be added to smoothies, curd bowls, buttermilk and shakes to increase satiety and protein content naturally.
